Woven look is very attractive and the white is a good white (not cream or ivory), but I didn't like the dark sole and heel, so I returned them. Nothing wrong with them; they just weren't my style.
I bought these shoes to wear with slacks -- a bit dressy but not stuffy. I bought the navy ones and am happy with the color. They appear to be very well made. As recommended, I ordered a half size larger than my usual size,, and the fit is great. I haven't worn them yet so don't know how comfortable they will be long term.
I love this shoe in the tan color. Actually woven, not embossed, leather. Quality shoe with arch support and various widths available. These are not true to size; follow Nordstrom's sizing suggestions.
